STAR Line Mode Command Specifications
ESC h n
[Name] Specify/cancel expanded high
[Code]
ASCII ESC h n
Hexadecimal 1B 68 n
Decimal 27 104 n
[Defined Area] Thermal : 0 ≤ n ≤ 5, 48 ≤ n ≤ 53, (“0” ≤ n ≤ “5”)
Slip : 0 ≤ n ≤ 5, 48 ≤ n ≤ 53, (“0” ≤ n ≤ “5”)
Validation : 0 ≤ n ≤ 5, 48 ≤ n ≤ 53, (“0” ≤ n ≤ “5”)
[Initial Value] Thermal : n = 0 (Double high cancelled)
Slip : n = 0 (Double high cancelled)
Validation : n = 0 (Double high cancelled)
[Function] Specifies/cancels double high for ANK characters and Kanji characters.
When tall expanded characters and normal printing are mixed in the same line, they are aligned at
the bottom.
<Thermal>
n Expanded high
0, 48 Cancel expanded high
1, 49 Specifies 2x expansion
2, 50 Specifies 3x expansion
3, 51 Specifies 4x expansion
4, 52 Specifies 5x expansion
5, 53 Specifies 6x expansion
<Slip>, <Validation>
n Function
0, 48 Cancels printing of vertical double-high character printing.
1 ≤ n ≤ 5 49 ≤ n ≤ 53 Specifies 2x expansion printing
However, in standard specifications, only the line feed amount is doubled for font configurations of 6
x 12 IBM block graphic characters, without expanding characters.
When slip or validation is selected, and more than double is specified, printing is doubled for every
setting.
Setting more than triple is valid after switching to thermal.
When page mode is selected, the line feed amount including the expanded double-tall characters is
1x the normal amount.
(Note) The settings using this command are valid for all stations and modes.
